• 2023 Airfix offerings. Both automotive and military. A surprise towards the end of the video. *NM* *LINK*
  • Even in 1/32 will probably go for the Bond Bug. Have to see what the London taxi scales out at. Wonder if they still have any 1/25-24th auto tooling like the Aston-Martin's? The DB5 was probably retooled to the DB6 though. *NM*
    • When I was working on Hot Rod Model Kits years ago, I asked about the Aston Martin tooling and was told that , yes, they had modified it into the DB-6. Didn't think the Bond licensing would go anywhere after the original release. *NM*
      • I still go for another DB-6. *NM*
        • I've got an old build DB6, the Airfix kit was also released by MPC and my kit has those wonderful MPC/Airfix festering wire wheels.......a new tool or reissued 1/24th would be my choice rather than a 1/43rd DB5 or DB6. *NM*
          • Would really like to see the Airfix / Bond DB - I'm probably not alone in speculating that the market demand would easily pay for the license fee and any upgrades. *NM*
            • Not positive, but I believe Revell is working on an all-new 007 kit (stock version will probably follow at some point) *NM*
              • Cue the theme music .... Gunnngagagagunn! *NM*
    • I have the Aurora(sp) DB4, is that more or less desirable than the ones you guys are talking about?? Thanks. *NM*
      • Kit collector wise I'd say less desirable since Aurora released it a couple of times and later was reissued by Monogram. Styling wise I prefer the earlier DB4 over the 5 and 6. Of course the Bond versions are the ones the collectors go ga-ga over. *NM*
